wow ...

Thank you so much. I've already thought about a lot of these things. That when I

was homebound I had no responsibilities except to basically take care of myself

and my family. Now I'll have to take on everything else again and I'm not sure

if I really want to .

Yes, the vertigo was, in a way, a way to wind down and " drop out of the world " .

I think that I try to do too much and get tired and stress myself out and then

come home tired and dig into the sweets for comfort.

 

I love exercising outside esp. LOVE jogging outside so it definitely is not that

but I have been saying I will again work extra hard to get to the level I was at

in tennis and the idea excites/frightens/frustrates/tires me. Lots of mixed

feelings.

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer and with such insight. I will

definitely copy this and study it more thoroughly.

 

Have a great day,

plays connect the dots instead of mopping her floor....

1. You've posted recently that you wonder if you brought your vertigo on

yourself by pushing too hard.

2. You were doing fine with your eating when you weren't running, etc.

3. " now that I am better and starting to get out again I have started eating

like there is no tomorrow!!! "

Going by your word choice, it sounds to me like there could be something about

getting out again that is scaring you. It may not be the weight loss itself. It

may not be the exercise itself. It may just be that you are.... getting out.

Given your descriptions of your enjoyment of the scenery, it doesn't sound to me

like it's because you don't want to get out. But maybe you have an inner

objection to exercising in public? I know I sure do....

Or maybe it is the exercise itself--an inner feeling that you're pushing too

hard again.

Instead of asking what the weight is doing for you, maybe you could ask

what the vertigo is doing for you? And no, I'm not saying that you can

just " intend " it away. But you still might get some interesting

answers....

Or maybe it is the weight loss itself--an inner feeling that if you start

exercising again--you might start losing weight again. And that might be bad....

Maybe it's time to revisit the earlier podcasts?

Hang in there!!
